HurricaneDij's Annual Top 50 NBA Players List (Year 7)

[#1BostonFan]

Not really. He's just there to make it more difficult for the Centers to score and to rebound basically. He is a much better post defender than Bosh

He could help you guys...but I don't know.

 

[WhiteMamba]

Oden was the right pick...he just couldn't stay healthy.

how many times do we have to hear that. THe first time was enough.... allow me to recap it.

With the 2nd pick in the 1984 draft the Portland Trailblazers select Sam Bowie.

3rd Bulls "JOOOOOOOOOOORDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

that really rustled my jimmies and I was only 8. Even I knew better.

 

[#1BostonFan]

I just remembered that the Grizzlies traded Love for OJ freaking Mayo

I hate OJ Mayo.

there are only 3 maybe 4 teams Love will sign with.

And they are massive markets.

All we know for sure is he's leaving Minnesota.

and the Bulls traded Aldridge for Tyrus Thomas.

He should once he stays healthy. They're not asking much out of him. It's not like they will be drawing up plays for him on offense. He's there to defend, rebound, and be a better rim protector than Bosh which isn't hard btw

Imagine D-Rose with Aldridge instead of Boozer

 

[Clayton]

Imagine D-Rose with Aldridge instead of Boozer

I have a hard enough time imagining D Rose at this point.

Imagine D-Rose with Aldridge instead of Boozer

That would be something.

I was about to say that.

Fair point

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Hibbert is coming for Miami.

Where does this confidence come from?

The last time you played the Heat in a game that mattered, you were beaten to a pulp.

Yes, Hibbert poses some problems for the Heat, but if you don't think the Heat/Riley have figured out ways to pose problems for Hibbert, you are out of your mind.

You think that foul trouble last game was an accident?

As for as Oden, time will tell, but as of now, he is ahead of the schedule the Heat have mapped out for him.

Slim to little chance that you see him before the all star break, then he will be used situationally to work on conditioning.

 

[HurricaneDij39]

Hurricane what is the reason why you placed KD over Lebron? Just curious

Honestly, that one didn't take a whole lot of thinking.

 

[Flauge]

first off, thanks for the list and an actual intelligent post on the NBA board.

to me, guys like kobe and rajon shouldnt be ranked due to the lack of play this year. but hey, that's just me.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Honestly, that one didn't take a whole lot of thinking.

True.
Durant has won the last 2 titles and both league and Finals MVP, including a head to head win over his rival.

 

[bksballer89]

well that's not exactly valid

Care to explain?

 

[ChicagoIrish]

How is LeBron not #1?

LeBron can turn the entire game around on defense just as easily as he can on offense. Durant can't.

 

[Clayton]

Durant is logging more minutes, getting more Rebounds and getting more points. Lebron is more efficient and is getting more assists. I would still probably have Lebron at #1.

1. Lebron
2. Durant
3. Love
4. CP3
5. Aldridge
6. Curry
7. Harden
8. Howard
9. Cousins
10. Wade

Still really early
